Welcome to Local Guides @officialumaryusuf there are lots of ways to contribute that will help your community. I'll move this to the monthly intro post.
Contributing on Maps
The best ways to contribute and get points are
While contributing is a lot of fun and rewarding, I always caution people about growing in points too quickly. Organic growth a little at a time is always best. Those who shoot up like rockets sometimes are making low quality contributions and may have contributions removed with a subsequent loss of points.
For everything you contribute, always think to yourself, would I find what I'm about to add useful? If the answer is yes then go ahead and do it, otherwise think about holding back.
Never review places you have not personally visited or used.
Good luck in your journey as a Local Guide.
Contributing on Connect
Whether you want to share or offer Travel Advice, share photos and stories of your favourite discoveries, talk about photography or talk about Maps and mapping or maybe you like to organise Meetups like photo walks or geowalks or foodcrawls there is a board here for you. Remember that Connect isn't a general social network, socialising as a Local Guide is important but please try and stay on topic. There are loads of great tips in this forum Helpdesk for how to get the most out of Connect. Remember to always uphold the Core Values of Connect.
If you haven't already consider introducing yourself on this post

Hello,
Greetings from the sunshine state. I'm currently located in the Space Coast of Florida. I've been a guide for a bit and have enjoyed uploading pics, reviews, answering questions, etc.
What I like about being a guide is the ability to add that human touch to help others find out opinions about local places and services, as well as correct contact information and hours for businesses to avoid someone going somewhere and being disappointed by wrong info.
My favorite place by far is NYC. I love it there, in the spring, in the winter, in the summer, the city is always alive yet different and definitely always up to something. Sometimes it's a little too much, but you try and keep up the pace.
Random fact about me: I'm a little afraid of dark or metallic toilets LOLOLOL

I've just changed my nickname on Connect from ふぁんトント_toyo to love_ikoma_toyo. Tagging anyone may be easier than that using 2 bytes characters.
1.Name: Toyo F.
2.Location: Yao City (Osaka/Japan. I can see Ikoma Mountains from my town every morning!)
Caption; This is a landscape of Ikoma Mountain Range.
.
3.What I love about being a Local Guide: Our contributions will someday help someone, someone's contributions will someday help me and you!
4.My favorite [place / thing / cuisine / other] to explore: Ikoma Mountain Range is in the Quasi National Park,Japan. It is approximately 35 km north and south, 5 km east to west and very amazing place(area)!
Caption; 360 shooting under the tower on the peak. Map

5.Fun fact about me: I love taking 360 photos with using the smartphone installed Street View App by Ball Chain Trick. I sometimes use 360 camera "RICOH THETA V",too. I've just started testing RICOH THETA Plug-in Partner Program(_link_).
From today, just call me "Toyo" If you add "_"(underbar) on front of toyo, it would be easier to tag me or mention me on Connect. ;lol
Thanks.
